On this day in 1862, the Emancipation Proclamation was first issued, paving the way for the eventual abolition of slavery in America. Topics like slavery may be difficult for some of us to discuss with our own children today, wondering how to convey such a despicable chapter of our country's history. Gloria Whelan's new book, The Listeners provides an amazing opening for this very conversation.

As a special giveaway, 5MinutesForBooks has 5 copies of The Listeners for their readers: two copies will be given to randomly chosen commenters, and three will be reserved for commenters who are school or public library employees (teachers, administrators, reading specialists, librarians, etc).

I think I've mentioned this before, but one of the great joys I get out of entering contests, is learning about new sites. There are so many places out there, how does one find them all?

This giveaway definitely falls into the "great site" category.

From her review:"Calafant makes high quality cardboard toys that your child decorates and them assembles. They are very easy to assemble and so much fun to decorate. The toys come in all kinds of sizes from giant castles that work with playmobile figures to smaller boats and planes."
